You need to speak with an immigration solicitor.

What is spouses status? Citizen? ILR?

It is indeed very confusing but as long as one is a UK Citizen it is disregarded.

It is a Government record and the information is available.

You should have complete documentation showing everything you did to submit with your packet.

Be honest.

It would not be considered public funds.

As a suggestion, I think it would be helpful if applicants also listed their prior nationality.

If you go to the UK Border Agency website, you can find the policy guidance documents that will help.

But there are two issues with this approach. If you decide to use NCS, they won't process your application with out filling the referee section. From April 2008, it is required regardless of the child age. where previously it was not as far as NCS is concerned. The email response works only if you ...

The referee requirement is part of the Good Character Requirement. The Good Character Requirement only applies to those over the age of 10. You will find that if you download, I believe Chapter 9, of the policy guidance. You need to do one of the following; 1.) Draw a line through that page and writ...

Call this as generic traveling advice. Make a scan of the citizenship Certificate and have her e mail it to herself. That way she can access it anytime and print it. That document copy will have no force but it has the Home Office registration numbers. It would be simple for a Consulate to establish...

You mean your British girlfriend. (':D') If she was born after 1981, she is British by descent from the mother. If she was born after 1961, she is British by entitlement to be registered. And if she was born before 1961, she will be able to be registered when the new law is passed. I shall assume sh...

Because of the pending changes in the citizenship rules. Compounded with existing annual limits that you can be outside of the country in order to apply for citizenship. Up against the changing annual limits under the new rules. It will probably mean that the next time you will be eligible to apply ...

Chris, couple other suggestions. Work on getting the documents now. If your mums birth certificate is not certified, order it from the UK now. Ask her for her old passport. Put everything in a fireproof safe. Hard to lose it then. Print out Form UKM and sketch it in now. If your mum no longer has a ...

Thanks for the update!!! It is horrid when a thread ends and you wonder what happened. Now you need to start planning on gathering materials over the next 24 months so she can get Indefinite Leave to Remain. May I suggest that you look at the application and start gathering the information now. They...

There are others here that probably know better but I will give a try at answering your question. You are the spouse of a UK Citizen which also makes you the spouse of a EU Citizen. Your spouse has the right of free movement in the EU and with that comes the right for her to bring you. Your spousal ...

Home office will note on your file that you have completed the test.

When you apply for citizenship, you will tick the box that you already completed the requirement to be granted ILR.

Regardless, make a copy for your records. The certificate does have an original reference number with it.

Assuming the bill passes..... You will fill out the application, look at Form UKM and Guide UKM as an example as that covers births after 1961. You will need two referees who do not need to be British since you are in the US. You will need your mothers birth certificate and her UK passport, even if ...

You stated that she lost Dutch Nationality based on US Law and that is not true. The US has permitted dual nationality for a long time. Let me make two assumptions, you can correct if required. I am assuming she was born in the USA around 1987 to a Dutch parent. Yes? A person born on or after 1 Janu...

What if the child currently shares his mother's passport, that is if he's yet to have his native (parent's country) passport ? Does that mean the mother has to submit her passport for the child REGISTRATION and UK PASSPORT application? The child's ILR visa is currently on monther's passport. If it ...

The certificate is issued in the name that you had when you became a citizen. It is now a fact of history and no longer subject to change. Unless there is an error. You will apply for a Passport under your now married name. When you apply you will need to naturally provide documentation to show your...

You can use NCS but you need to call first as not all NCS know they can do it for you. You can also apply by mail and it does not appear to take much longer for straight forward applications. NCS will copy your documents. If you go postal, you will need to go to a solicitor to copy and certify the d...

I am amazed they released it a day early.

Based on first read, it looks like good news all around for HSMP holders.

Also appears that they will not have to take Life in the UK for ILR.

Since they are under age 10 they are not subject to the good character requirement. The prior Guide bascially said if you are 10 and under to disregard. Just get the two best referees you can get. Updated; You can also e mail the Home Office. Ask them exactly this; "I am submitting Form MN1 for...

If there is a problem with the referees they will ask you to submit a new one, that is all.

By following the instructions, you could have both not resident in the UK as long as one is over 25 with a British Passport and the other is a professional person.

Simply follow the instructions.

First off, you need to be truthful no matter what your opinion of the HO is. It sounds from your efforts that maybe, because of lack of stamps, you do not know what dates you were in or out of the country. So what do you do? Try to re-assemble your travel records using the best possible personal eff...
